He will also have to perform 30 hours of community service as part of an agreement with the prosecutors who were seeking battery and false imprisonment charges.

In 2010, Janikowski allegedly forced Syrena Nicholson into a room at a Walnut Creek club after seeing her take photos of him. He then reportedly held her backstage until others came to her aid.

Because he agreed to attend anger management classes, the prosecution dropped the misdemeanor false imprisonment charge and will drop the battery charge too if Janikowski completes his classes and is not arrested again in the next 12 months. If he had been convicted of both charges, Janikowski could have faced up to 18 months in prison.

This is by no means his first brush with the law. At Florida State, Janikowski was arrested multiple times for barroom fights and once for bribing an officer (the Poland-native was under the impression that he could pay an officer to release his friend).

Since being drafted by the Raiders in 2000, Janikowski has been apprehended on suspicion of felony possession of GHB (the “date rape” drug), charged with a DUI and arrested in connection with a fight outside of a Walnut Creek restaurant.

He got off on all charges except for the 2002 DUI, for which he served three years probation.
